Lifestyle: Secrets to Success

Consistency. We know this. It’s not a secret. But it bears re-emphasis, as we often fail to do what we know we should do.

Consistency is the true test of good training.

It’s not rare to hear, “Yeah my training was going well, but then I just lost the motivation”.

It is not hard to train when you’re motivated.

It is not painful to train when you’re excited.

You are tested on the days when you’re unmotivated. Your muscles are sore. It’s cold outside. Your dog is curled up at the foot of the bed. Your wife is sleeping.

These are the days when you must take a deep breath, remind yourself why you’re training, envision your goal, and then get outside. Go hit the pavement, grind the gears, punish the lane line. Those days represent the victories.
